With an eye toward further dominating the sports calendar, the league is looking to push the draft to May and move the start of the league year up before the combine.

That would appear to put the start of the league year and the combine in February, with the draft coming three months. But as ProFootballTalk.com suggests, it’s more likely that free agency will open in February, the combine will move to March and the draft will come in May.

The NFLPA would have to sign off on any changes to the league year, but it’s hard to imagine them balking at the move. Instead of gauging interest at the combine, agents would have all the league’s decision makers in the same place at the same time, which should help them create better markets for their clients.

If changes are made, the draft would move in 2014. The league year changes would take place in 2015 and 2016.
